CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS
Learn to make an upcycled magazine collage from beginning to end. Immerse yourself in your favorite colors and create the piece you want to make. I'll guide you as you choose to follow my sample in a short workshop or learn the process in-depth in a multi-session class.
There's only one rule: NO JUDGEMENT.
“What a delight to forget about the stress of the day, roll up our sleeves and create something. Greatly enjoyed the process and went out and got magazines to continue enjoying this outlet. Looking forward to the next workshop.”
